Mists and mellow fruitfulness
When does autumn start, for you?
For me, it’s when the veg box starts to fill up with pumpkins and winter squashes, and my thoughts turn in the direction of warming and calorific ways of using them: soups and stews, and even cakes – with pumpkin spice, of course. Other people go by the date, maybe the first day of September or the autumn equinox; or by nature, when the leaves start to fall or the autumn berries appear. My husband maintains the first day of autumn is the day he sees his breath when he leaves the house in the morning.
